They have the weirdest bathrooms (in different designs!) in China. Take note that the wall only reaches up to your knees when you stand up.. I leave the rest up to your imagination!

I felt like a guy in this situation. I had to pay 10 renmimbi (RM5) for each girl I chose and there were six all clinging to me! I ended up selecting these two lovely ladies..

"A little help please, this thing is heavy!" That large pot-like statue is what the Chinese used to serve dishes such as beef, meat etc.. during the war to thousands of soldiers.

Check out this cute signage of one of the more popular cafes in Yangshuo. (OMG: Reading their signboards in China is entertaining!)

Yangshuo, also known as West Street. A street that caters for mostly foreigners from all over the globe (the only street where people speak English!). Trendy cafes, bars and hotels and terrific shopping! Recommended to go in a group with your close buddies!

Most of the caves in China have carvings (very detailed and intricate carvings!) That date back to the late 1800's. Some of them were quite creepy whereas some were darn right hilarious!

The Chinese community believed that if you climb this particular hill with your partner, and each get a padlock with your names engraved and then lock it there along the chain link it would bring a lifetime of happiness together and your partner would not stray! Nowadays couples go there on their first year as husband and wife and return after a couple of years in search of their padlocks! (the prevention of adultery is all a myth though some still strongly believe in this myth!)

I climbed about a million steps to get up this cliff and I was not disappointed it was gorgeous I could see the whole Guilin City. (P.s Theres a story about the padlocks hanging behind me!)

I felt like I stepped back in time, the people in the smaller villages were still dressed in traditional clothings, military wear (rather scary) and their buildings and structures are ancient (hundreds of years old)

China is beautiful, now i understand why most chinese paintings have mountains in them (the chinese are surrounded by mountains, cliffs and hills even in the City!)

Gettin' the chink out of me.. :)

Yangshuo... yes thats where I am people- Just had a one hour full body massage for 35 Yuan (RM17.50).. *SIGH* this is the life. Just to let you know I have really interesting stories to tell you guys when I get back home: all about CHINA 1) The scenery is beautiful-beyond words. 2) There have weird customs - I finally found a place where I would not like to greet people! They greet and show affection by touching your EARS! 3) I got married last night and you wont believe how P.s I have some pictures of my wedding! (I kid you not!) 4) The place I am now is called West Street, alot of foreigners, bars, night markets (selling lotsa stuff for dirt cheap). Its a place to chill with friends though NOT in a tour group. From here I will be moving from one town to another, staying at different hotels everynight which is tiring-nothing a little massage cant fix :) "I tell you my chinese very the good quality one ower (yes not over) here". No one speaks English not even my tour guide I have to depend on my cantonese skills (which is surprisingly good enough!) Anyhows in Mandarin the only things i need to say are:
1) Chee so (toilet)
2) Ho kui (Sooo expensive)
3) Pu Yao (don wan)
4) Wo Pu Ming Pai (I dont understand)
5) Lei Sik Kong Kong Tung Wah (in cantonese which basically means "Do you speak cantonese?"
Ending here if I find another internet cafe will let you know whether I have kids by then (KIDDING!)
sei sei ni. Ngo oi FAN KAU...bye bye from chilly China.
